Our mission to expand access to quality education around the world continues. We were honored this month when leaders in France and China announced unique online learning initiatives that will use the edX open source platform.  The French Ministry of Higher Education (and 120 French Universities) and XuetangX - a MOOC portal led by ten Chinese universities - both aim to expand access to higher education and improve outcomes for all. Online and on-campus. When we founded edX, the open source platform was an important piece of the overall vision. We can't wait to see who else will use the edX platform to improve education.  - Patrick, your edX Community Manager Featured Courses Explore the latest edX courses starting this October and beyond.
